Naomi Osaka Beats Coco Gauff in Emotional Match 2019 US Open

Woah! Some fantastic problem-solving+different-looks+thinking-on-her-feet tennis from #CocoGauff.


Superlative controlled-aggression+bend-don't-break from #Osaka.


Something tells me that no matter what #Federer & #Serena do the #USOpen 's already peaked emotionally!

All hail Queen Julianne! Seriously, if #Oscars don't nominate her come 2020(already๐Ÿ˜ฑ!) it'be an absolute traveshamockery! And, while we're at it how about an #Oscar nom for Turturro, too? Wonderful, low-budget digital Indie-DP-ing by Braier. Great little film!

Fantastic, 50s-rockabilly-via-80s-still-rocking-in-the-almost-20s fun! One of TBH's favourite bands. Complicated maths: 50s music in the 80s, 3-piece band, tiny drumkit, standup bass…and d*mn if it all doesn't rock out! Tremendous!!!!!!๐Ÿ˜ธ๐Ÿฅ๐ŸŽธ๐ŸŽถ๐Ÿค˜

Excellent Venus Profile in NY Times Magazine

Hallowed name in our house growing up. Scion of Hollywood acting royalty, counterculture icon, indefinable laconic moviestar charisma, and a very under-rated/appreciated actor. #EasyRider, #UleesGold, #TheLimey best known, but so many other gems to catch up on...

Literary *giant*, in the pantheon of writers who will be read from now until, well, until there's books. Sadly, I did not read enough of her work but what I did was spectacular, lyrical, poetic, dancing on the page, you get lost in it & keep wanting more.
